Avesh Khan cleans up Yashasvi Jaiswal in the 18th over

Jaiswal is one of the best batters present in the Rajasthan Royals camp, but he was not able to start his campaign in the Indian Premier League 2025 on a high

In his first three matches, he registered scores of 1, 29, and 4 before smashing a half-century in the fourth match against the Punjab Kings.

After that, Yashasvi Jaiswal failed and scored just 6 runs, but quickly bounced back strong with the knocks of 75 and 51 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Delhi Capitals.

The left-handed batter continued his purple patch with the bat against the Lucknow Super Giants and played a brilliant innings. He slammed 74 runs off 52 balls, with 5 fours and 4 sixes.

Jaiswal, however, was unable to take his team past the finish line and got out in the 18th over. On the first ball of the over, Avesh Khan bowled a perfect yorker to Jaiswal, who backed away, tried to smash the ball on the off-side, but was completely beaten and saw his stumps being rattled.

He has been good, very relaxed actually - Aiden Markram

Speaking to the broadcasters ahead of the match, the Lucknow Super Giants batsman Aiden Markram said that he has been enjoying his game. While talking about the the head coach, Justin Langer, Markram said that he has been quite relaxed. He said:

"Yeah it has been good. Obviously the two of them are heavy destructive batters. It allows me to play my game in a different way. It's been really enjoyable so far and we are thoroughly enjoying our time on and off the field.

"(On Justin Langer) He has been good, very relaxed actually. Breath of fresh air for all of us here. Obviously they are working really hard behind the scenes. So far I have enjoyed his guidance."

Aiden Markram also labelled Rishabh Pant's captaincy as a unique one and added that the return of Mayank Yadav to the set-up is a big boost. He said:

"(On Rishabh Pant) Pant's captaincy is a bit of a unique one to be fair. You have to be on your toes and on the other hand, you need to be there beside him if he needs you. So, that's what I am seeing actually. He has been good and his leadership has been really good too.

"(On Mayank Yadav) Well, fortunately I haven't faced him in the nets. Always great to have him back. Big pockets are here in this venue so hopefully he can use them tonight."
